We're proud to stand with Ceri, Frances and @ItsNeverYou22.
No parent should have to choose between their seriously ill child and their job, or rely on their employer's goodwill to be there.
Deliver #HughsLaw
Your child is fighting for their life. You shouldn’t be put in a position where you have to choose between your job and your child.
Today, Frances and I took a united call to @10DowningStreet in our late son Hugh’s name backed by over 45 charities, medical bodies, businesses, unions, MPs , Peers and over 18,000 Parents.
@andyburnham must deliver #HughsLaw this Parliament 🙏

New allergy safety duties are in force in every school in England from this term. Every school must now have a published allergy safety policy, train its staff, and hold spare adrenaline pens.
A welcome change, and long overdue. But a policy sitting on a website protects nobody. It has to be followed properly, with training that deserves the name.
When a child reacts, it is usually support staff who respond. They need to be trained, valued and recognised for it.
Five things to check in your school ⬇️
As the temperature is set to reach extreme highs this week, here's our quick guide on your rights at work in the hot weather:

A lesson in let down.
At GMB Congress, members from across the country marched in Blackpool and the SSSNB needs to listen: school support staff must be valued. 🧡

Well done Charlie! Expertly delivered.
A first time delegate, Charlie had to wait until the final day of Congress to move our branch's motion, which calls for the articles of the Human Rights Act to be displayed in all civic spaces.

The forces of division are seeking to pull people apart and spread their hate.
Everyone, no matter their race or background, must be free to live without fear from hatred, racism, and thuggery.
Our country must face the far-right challenge head on.
Unity is strength.

Water bills are rising, pollution is rising.
We need to renationalise water.
Thank you @Feargal_Sharkey

We asked hundreds of school support staff what academisation feels like.
"Run like a business." "Overstretched." "Ignored."
Children aren't a product. Schools aren't a profit margin.

Academisation was sold as a way to free schools up. For support staff, it's done the opposite.
50:1.
For every academy trust worker who says their workload has gone down, fifty say it's gone up.
If you're a TA, cleaner, caretaker, lunchtime supervisor or admin in an academy school, you don't have to carry this alone.
Join GMB. Stand with school support staff.

The support staff who actually work in schools have spoken.
Workload up. Wellbeing down. Pay at the top through the roof.
607 GMB London school support staff surveyed.
93% are against academisation.
